3.1 Area of application
Overview
These synchronous motors are used as industrial drives. They are designed for a wide range
of drive applications both for line operation as well as in conjunction with converters.
They are characterized by their high power density, extreme robustness, long service life
and outstanding reliability.
Intended use of the machines
These machines are intended for industrial installations. They comply with the harmonized
standards of the series EN / IEC 60034 (VDE 0530). It is prohibited to use these motors in
hazardous zones if the marking on the rating plate does not explicitly permit line or converter
operation. If other/more wide-ranging demands (e.g. protection so that they cannot be
touched by children) are made in special cases – i.e. use in non-industrial installations –
these conditions must be ensured by the customer.
Note
Machine directive
Low-voltage motors are components designed for installation in machines in accordance
with the current Machinery Directive. Commissioning is prohibited until it has been absolutely
identified that the end product is in conformance with this Directive. Please observe the
EN 60204-1 standard.
3.1.1 Operating UL-certified machines with a converter
Note
Operating a machine with a converter
Implement all machines of the overall machine-converter system according to UL-File
E227215 assuming that the machines are only to be operated with a converter and are
supplied with UL certificate.
The company operating the equipment is responsible for implementing this in the actual
application.
